Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reserve a 4-hour block for my wedding?

No, a wedding typically spans a full day at minimum, accounting for decoration set-up and other preparations.

What is the maximum capacity of the room?

The marquee can accommodate 280 seated guests. It can even hold up to 450 seated guests by installing a temporary extension for an additional fee. Without an extension, it can accommodate 400 guests for a cocktail reception.

Is there a back-up plan in case of rain?

Yes. Depending on the number of guests, a section of the marquee can be temporarily set up for the ceremony. It is also possible to install a small marquee on a portion of the grounds to hold the outdoor ceremony while staying sheltered from the rain. Subject to the availability of our other halls, one can be used for the ceremony as well. Additionally, we have partnerships with local churches where the marriage ceremony can be officialized.

Do we have exclusive use of the venue?

We are able to offer exclusive site use for an extra fee, provided no other wedding is booked for your date. Otherwise, up to two other weddings may occur on the same day.

Is the site accessible to people with reduced mobility?

Yes, we have access ramps and the entire site is accessible.
